I Found Genuis! Spread It Like Herpes

So you might probably be aware of a certain Katherine Chloe Cahoon, famed author of hit novel Single Girls Guide to Meeting European Men. She graciously sacrificed her youth to many years of painstaking research, the fruits of which recovered the true meaning of life for any single (or otherwise) woman (or otherwise, even). The obvious truth that sprang from her over-glossed lips was "European Men"! Upon publishing her novel, Katherine began making youtubes for her fans who cannot read (that's probably the majority of her fanbase). Blah blah blah... watch her video if I haven't already forced you to...or revisit the glory.




My question has always been: WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS SHE IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS? Sorry for shouting. Last time I checked, most of the user comments were praising her genius, the very opposite of my reaction. BUT then, months later, when I revisited this KCC craziness, I discovered a spoof of her. I <3 parodies! And this one takes the cake! It only has like 2 comments and 8 likes, WTF indeed. Please watch, comment, spread, and repeat.

Reasons Why Winter Break Is (Sometimes) the Worst

5.The old haunts. Coming back home means reliving high school. I can't step outside my front door without running into someone from school and having the most uncomfortable conversation of my life. What's more, most of my former acquaintances work at grocery stores, targets, and other places of necessity that I will have to go to eventually. And then there are those friends who catch wind of your arrival in town and demand a hang out session. And dealing with that is never pretty. Never pretty.

This Pie is So Good

"Actors must practice self restraint, else think what might happen in a love scene."

Update: This James Franco bit is actually part of a larger series featuring 14 actors doing classic screen types (whatever that is, I'm no film major) Check 'em out, they're actually really good! If you're pressed for time, just watch the Javier Bardem or Vincent Cassel ones (tres bien). CLICK HERE!

Quick Housekeeping

So, I added a page where you can contact me. It's located in the upper right hand corner of the blog, just above my three followers. Its is basically a cool (so blog-trendy) way for you to personally email me...not that most of you can't just facebook or text me, friends. But, humor me! It's function is for you to give me tips, if you stumble upon something fantastic in the news, on the internet, or just in life, that I can turn around and share with a larger audience of five. Or, most of my posts involve me finding a remotely interesting topic and using wikipedia and google to fluff it out. So, if there are things that interest you, that you'd like to know more about, but you are too lazy to research, i'd be delighted to write a post about it!

I mean, sometimes, not everyone wants to read about cats and cheese. I don't quite understand, but that's life?

Additionally, I'd like to thank my five readers (that I know of) for occasionally reading and commenting on this silly time waster! You guys are fantastic!

With that said, if you feel like you have a knack for blogging or would like to get into it, I would be open to making the Mind Medley a collaborative project.

Good luck with finals, work, life... Have an amazing winter break! Drink as much hot chocolate as your body will allow and enjoy the festivities!

P.S. want to send me test emails? Just to make sure that that page actually sends your tips to my email?

Send in the Clowns

My mother used to always joke about having gone to clown college as a way to embarrass me and trick me into believing I came from a long line of "entertainers." One time, she even purchased a clown nose to prove it. Moms! What are you going to do with them? Anyway, I thought I'd use this anecdote as an excuse to talk about clowns (sorry to Lauren and all my other readers who suffer from coulrophobia!). I was originally going to do a post on the circuses of the early eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but its a lot of reading about the business side of things, aka boring.
